Hi, the linux build worked for me once I changed some files's rights ("chmod +x assetflip.sh Engine/Binaries/Linux/EpicWebHelper"). I'm pretty sure zip archives don't store if files are supposed to be executable, but tar archives do and are standard for sharing linux software.

Also, library files (*.so) aren't stripped of debug informations which is why the linux build is 4gb once extracted.

I have no idea how Unreal Engine exports linux builds and if it's easy to fix those issues, but hopefully this helps someone play this game :p.

I really liked this! the CGs are gorgeous and the writing is really good. I also liked the parallax effect on the title screen. It looks polished and made me wonder what kind of people the characters would be before even starting.

The characterization is really good. At every interaction, it felt like each character had their own motives.

It was fun to see the first Apologia assembly, expecting only stern, stiff talk about Jael's bad actions (like Eve and Lady Amaris), only for Cerise to come in, crack a joke and call the forbidden material "real gross, freak shit" to rile everyone else against Jael. How did she, a writing section member, uncover a research section member's illegal book stash? Who knows or cares to find out. In the beginning of act 3, it's obvious why she would do this, not just out of meanness: bullying Magda out of the writing section let Cerise take her place, and kicking her out of Haven makes her a section head.

Meanwhile, while it isn't Grace's intention, she gets the same result if not even better: she also becomes a section head, she gets to make other friends and to make life better for the architectural section members by reducing how much time they have to work. Does she considers sacrificing Magda worth all of that?

Until act 3, I thought members that were kicked out of Haven actually got to leave, so it re-contextualizes some things. When Maria complains that Magda complains to her when she's going through worse by losing Jael... Jael is quite literally still right there, and Maria's just giving up.

Just like the others, Maria profits from Magda's disappearance by plagiarizing her planned painting, but it also feels like Maria thinks of it as recognizing and fulfilling unrealized potential.

Magda's first feelings about Nils feel like they reflect the way other Haven members see her: as someone who will corrupt them. And both Magda and Nils are to Haven a resource its members can take advantage of; Magda by serving as a stepping stone to reaching sect head status and providing sketches to be plagiarized, Nils by physically providing blood and energy to Haven. After Nils died, I wonder how long Haven could've continued.

I hope Lilia gets to sleep on the top of a bunk bed somewhere and to eat something they like!

One of the nicest picross games, I love the pixel art style and also midnight-black themes so this is perfect!!

I played this and it was fun !!

i really liked this !!! creepy

Thanks a lot for playing!!!! It really means a lot. Sadly I missed the stream and it looks like the last call didn't happen for you (they were supposed to happen every 10 seconds while no text boxes were open).

I used bevy, I can send you the game's source code if you want!!!

Hi! I love those songs and I used two of them in my game.

I tried this and it was fun, I like the weight the character has when jumping. Unfortunately I'm stuck on the screen with the bouncing flower.

this is extremely well written. i can't relate exactly but it's chilling to see the similarities in trying to access hormones to this day where i live to this? seeing that even though it got a lot better, i too  have to go through useless expensive protocols to prove i deserve hormones or surgery.

i'm sorry about the steam comments. i value a lot your games for being honest. i especially appreciate the epilogue for talking about how dehumanizing this is.

i really like this game. i played it before starting to transition and then again after the first time someone told me i passed perfectly (after i tried my best not to care about it and having no idea whether i did). we really are there being seen by other people huh

loved this!!! unfortunately hard on my hands but fun :)

Played the three first chapters, this was really interesting and cool!!
